Hi there, Naitch's other half here, I noticed you asked about a colour change, I had ntoiced that it is very very very slight but there is a slight shade of pink in the tetra, not the attacked fish, but the attackers! I dont no if this would be of any help to understand what is happening. Cheers

To be honest, no, everything is exactly the same. They're slightly bigger maybe, but nothing to write home about. Either way, they've killed one of their own and looked likely to kill another yesterday. With it being a sunday though, it's not like i could've popped out to buy a birthing tank or...

I've uploaded a picture, but I don't know how to set it as my profile pic - any help would be great. I'd also recommend someone makes the answer a sticky! :wink:

I can't remember the volume of the tank, but it's about 30 inches by 15 inches by 20 inches. Tank mates are same as they were from the beginning 6 neons, an angel fish and 2 clown loaches. No new food, no new ornaments, only thing new could be the 20% water change I did last week Water...

My tank has been settled for some few months now and suddenly, out of the blue, my Penguin tetras have started to attack one another and other fish. I've had the 5, as a settled group, for about 3 months now, and two have suddenly begun attacking the others, killing one and now picking on...

UPDATE! - Great news! My nitrites are returning to zero. Down to about 0.05 at the moment, but edging nicely, but slowly toward 0!

Really? Get rid of them all? I think i'll keep them until they bigger anyway, I don't know anyone with a big enough tank/small enough community to take them Same goes with the shark. As for the Plec, it's a bristlenose.

Yeah, i believe it's a 25 US gallon tank. That's a shame. I do agree on the good housekeeping front though.

Tank is about 5 weeks on. 4 decent sized plants, along with plastics to pad it out a little. Tap water is tested and is fine.

90 litre tank (ish) Stock - 2 Clown loaches, 5 Penguin tetras, 6/7 neon tetras, 1 plec, 1 rainbow shark?

That's great advice, thanks everyone

That's what I thought, but I have had so many "experts" telling me that I want to limit the water changes as much as possible. I really do think I'll have to invest in an external filter though! Thanks for your help!

Right, after continuous testing, it appears my nitrites are quite high. I'd say this is because I have too many fish in and my bacteria ecosystem isn't yet up to speed. Any ideas on how I can reduce the nitrites using? If anyone knows of anything availabe in the UK, that'd be great. I was told...
